Sigh... this was going to be a stand in comic until I got the new MASSIVE Doctor who one finished, but I finished this panel and then decided I didn't like the punchline, so chances are this'll never see the light of day. It's a shame to let it go unseen though, so here it is, doomed to fade away into the oblivion of the doodles thread.

Still in the doodlish-phase, but it's coming right along... fan art for Humbug (and long over due)! Finally found an idea that felt worth the effort to pursue, and all it took was a bit of insomnia. X_x;

while you are very accomplished with your colours, it always gives me vibes of the fantasy novels which I usually avoid due to the way they're painted. It's just kind of nice to see the strength of line for once. so yeah, it would be the overwhelming the art thing.

I'm curious to know why you prefer the black and white? Personal preference, or does the color lack something... or maybe overwhelm the line art?

That piece of art contains a whle lot of movement, speed, tension in it. If you further process it in the same technique you do for TTG it's bound to lose some of it because TTG art has a sort of, like Claude said, book illustration quality.

*nods* I see what you mean. Maybe one of these days I'll be accomplished enough to manage to keep the tension and energy when I start slapping paint on to the page... gives me goal to work toward, at least. Thank you for your feedback!

Yeah, because when you're making the sketch, your hand is more at ease to do what it feels but when you start inking, colouring, you probably slow down the proces and became more careful about not making any mistakes. Perhaps speeding up that part of the process, adding more recklessness to it, would be a good idea. Think of it like painting: The trace of artist's brush causes tension because there's a trail of that movement that artist made in the final product. When painting is so polished that you can't see the trail of brush anymore, the finished painting may look too plastic, still, even sterile.

That's hilarious. I love how you and Humbug seem to have the same techniques in drawing stuff. If I didn't see the avatar on the same, I couldn't tell if this was your work or hers, by understructure alone.

That said, awesome work.

Funny thing: When i first saw the picture I said to myself, "Dammit, I hate how awsom eHumbug is." Then I saw the part that siad "fanart for humbug."
